AW Your Crafts (and/or cats)

Xath · April 2014

I saw a lot of people responded with art and craft hobbies on the hobby thread. I want to see them, finished or in progress. What are you working on?

Hahaha. I love it.

Jillzy86 · April 2014

Made some boppy covers from a free Pinterest pattern and burp cloths with the scraps. And I copied a cute blanket pattern that I saw on etsy!! I'm not a very good sewer but I can try.

@Jillzy86‌ Those are adorable! I love your fabric choices.

I'm cross stitching for our underwater themed bathroom. A couple of patterns like this:

I totally read "AW your Cats" too. I thought it was so random and strange to have a thread for that ... and then I grabbed my camera.

Let's see if this uploading works from my iPad. It usually doesn't though. Attached are a blanket I finished on bed rest for Elisabeth (plus a bonus cat!) and one of my favorite paintings. It lives in our dining room. I was surprised to notice that I don't have pictures on my iPad of most of my paintings though. Might need to fix that.

@aimee223‌ Hats with ears are the best kinda of hats.

@ThereBeDragons‌ Those are both amazing! The blanket looks like lace. I completely fail at all crafts involving yarn, so I'm in awe of all of the knitters/crocheters. I love the colors in your paintings. What is your medium of choice?

Edited, because why not? Who doesn't like cat photos? Bonus to @ThereBeDragons‌ for getting cats on crafts.

Acrylic by choice for the last 5 years or so. Oils for the 6 years or so before that- but with oils I have a really hard time with the drying window. I'm confined to water colors on bed rest though since I'm not allowed to go into my studio and paint (painting for me is pretty physical work on large canvases).

And primary/strong colors are my thing. My styles are all over the map but you could usually pick out my paintings in a lineup because I don't deviate very much from the palette I like.

More cats with crafts, this is a painting I did for my little sister last year. And Tatsu, who likes nothing better than to be tall.

cbrust · April 2014

First is the mobile I made for babygirl, then 2 quilts (first is a flannel rag quilt) I made and then a quilt I am in the middle of (need to finish two more rows and add borders) for myself.

I'm also in the middle of a cross stitch but I doesn't look like anything yet so no picture!

can we just make this a "cats n' crafts" thread? i feel like that's a good direction to take.

andoll8 · April 2014

just saw the thread title update - YAY!

flowerx2 · April 2014

Here is a blanket I made (sorry not my cat, but my pup).

ckandi007 · April 2014

I learned to crochet thanks to Pinterest a few weeks ago so I've been crocheting hats and bonnets. Also made some fabric covered boxes for the changing table.

hfooter · April 2014

Here's my old man cat

I paint more than I craft. If you want you can google hailey footer art and design and my site should pop up with my recent stuff. (Can't link due to TOS rules).

raebee18 · April 2014

Wow you guys are all so much more crafty than I!! I can't draw a stick figure or sew a pillowcase to save my life, but watch out when it comes to spreadsheets. So thank you for making this a cats/crafts thread cause I have cats to contribute. Meet Mike and Lala.

I finished my daughter's Christmas stocking today. The front is counted cross stitch. The back and lining are cut from the hospital gown I was wearing when I got to hold her.

babyaotw · April 2014

My handsome kitty took over my pillow covered spot on the couch.

jenniferroshto · April 2014

@jennish11‌ I just used cardboard, the top of a pizza box actually. And glued cardstock to it.

momo214 · April 2014

Made these closet dividers to organize baby's clothes. I hung them with tulle to make life easier. And yes I realize the 12 is missing the 2. Pregnancy brain was at its finest when I went shopping. Also included: Gracie cat. She's my baby.

rainydayluck · April 2014

Here is my cat helping my teenager er, I mean 3 year old avoid getting up to get ready for school.

Not sure why it is turned.

Obviously it means 1 year, and your brain was just saving you some work.

Would you mind linking the boppy cover pattern you used? I searched and there are a bunch of different ones- your's came out great!

hbird0723 · April 2014

I made a taggies blanket and in still working on her quilt. It's a ditch girl quilt and I'm just not sure it will be finished.

Arinias · April 2014

I am so far behind on the crochet projects I want to make for baby it is ridiculous, but here are some of my more recent things.

The last two hats I sold (I have taken a hiatus from my Etsy for a bit)

And the first of the five space ships I want to make for the baby's mobile. I don't know how I am going to finish them and the hat set I want to make for his nb photos before he gets here... I just really need to get my butt in gear...

And since we all love cats, my two adorable munchkins

Louie and Thistle

For those of you interested this is the site I got the free boppy cover pattern. She has a step by step YouTube video as well.

I've been making headbands like crazy......they are easy and so fun thanks to Pinterest!!

Dplusbsquared · April 2014

I started the wreath for the front door last night. It needs some embellishing, but I can see the potential.

dogsombrero · April 2014

I made these letters for his wall (they are hung now) and we are working on his model airplane mobile.

These are sooo cute! I can't wait to make some once we get a name picked. Are they wood with paper modge podged on?

HARLEYSMOM2010 · April 2014

This is my only craft so far!!! But you girls are pretty awesome at this stuff

dogsombrero · April 2014

@mollynicole214‌ I used chip-board instead of wood and I painted the edges pearly red. I used the gloss mod-podge but I think matte would look good too. I used the command Velcro strips to hang them.

AnnieA75 · April 2014

My sister is due with a boy in 3 weeks. I made a bunch of fancy burp cloths and onsies for her. I'm making a bunch for our DS over the next few days. I'm making bibs this week too. Also, I'm going to make infinity scarf nursing covers from a pattern I found on Pinterest. If they work out, I'll post pics of those too when I'm finished.
